Each HopGuard® II kit contains 50 insert strips, ready for use.

Simply add HopGuard® II to hives at the rate of 2 insert strips per 10 frames. Strips should be hung between frames.

HopGuard® II is most effective when used during the pre-pollination period (before sealed brood), mid-summer, and at the onset of winter brood development.

HopGuard® II may be applied up to 3 times per year, even during honey flow.
